Leah, Theresa and family, Please accept our heartfelt sympathy on the loss of your brother, Eddie. Brothers are such special people, to have had one is a gift; They are so much of who we are, and how we act and feel; What joy we have knowing we were a part of them. May he always be remembered for the honor and courage with which he fulfilled his duty for his country and joy he gave his family and friends. Rick and Savanah Geer, Groton, Connecticut
